My last name may have opened doors, but I have to keep them open.
That’s not love. That’s not how love is supposed to feel. But there is someone out there who will show me what real, honest love is. They will respect and accept me for me and won’t make me feel less than. In order to find that person and truly let them in, first I must believe in myself and know my own value. It’s not selfish to want these things nor is it selfish to think them. I deserve happiness. I deserve to be loved just as I love others. I deserve everything.

You deserve happiness. You deserve to be loved just as you love others. You deserve everything.

Anxieties and issues don’t just disappear if we don’t talk about them. In fact, we can’t fully deal with them if we don’t open up.
By sharing, we learn that we’re not alone, that we’re not so different after all. We all want to feel part of something greater.
And if someone isn’t making me feel like the best version of myself, I should move on and find someone who will!
Substitutions didn’t have to mean you skipped out on flavor.
Not dealing with the root of the problem means they’ll never get better.
You have to love yourself the most and use your voice.
It’s no secret that we as women all want to look and feel our best. But what is a secret is how insecure this pressure can make us feel.
But now i know. Now i know i deserve to be the happiest, most fulfilled version of myself that I can possibly be. And i promise to use my experiences to continue to grow, heal and expand my life. It starts with me.
No relationship is greater than the one I have with myself.
